3 of South Africa’s best car owners’ clubs

Are you looking to connect with others who share the same passions and interests you do? If you're a car fanatic, there are numerous and diverse car owners' clubs in South Africa that cater to almost any person, brand and category.

Joining a car owners' club can have several benefits, including access to service guides, more affordable parts, and being part of a community. Some owners' clubs also offer advanced driving courses and training, which could get you a preferential car insurance quote.

Here are three of the best car owners' clubs in SA:

1. Ferrari Owners' Club

One of the most popular owners' clubs is the Southern Equitorial Ferrari Automobili Club (SEFAC). SEFAC attracts the interest of fans and media alike at their popular annual get-together at Kyalami Race Track. The day consists of visitors engaging with Ferrari owners and cars, watching them race through Kyalami's sharp corners, and purchasing genuine Ferrari merchandise. It's a day out for the entire family with many retailers taking advantage of the large attendance to showcase their products.

2. Alfa Romeo Owners' Club

Like the Ferrari owners' club, the Alfa Romeo Club of South Africa (ARCSA) is a members-only club. By becoming a member, you enjoy numerous benefits, such as a monthly newsletter, the calendar of ARCSA events, access to a photo and video gallery, and member workshops with Alfa Romeo car guides and manuals. You also get discounts on ARCSA events and products.

You can register via the ARCSA website. Joining is easy and the costs are relatively inexpensive:

Application fee – R50

Annual membership fee – R400

The club is based in Gauteng but operates nationwide.

3. Suzuki Owners' Club

Another popular car club is the Suzuki Auto Club South Africa (SACSA). Founded by Monty Montgomery and Jaco Nel, the club developed from their desire to have a passionate Suzuki community in each province in South Africa.

SACSA organises several days each year where members and enthusiasts can watch Suzuki vehicles in action. Among the most popular days in the SACSA calendar are the Suzuki 4x4 Experiences, where owners take on tough off-road trails and learn new driving skills.

Enthusiasts can partake by driving themselves or by jumping in the passenger seat.

Suzuki training days are organised by the club with the following costs:

Driver – R800

Passenger – R500

If you're interested in joining the Suzuki Owner's Club of South Africa, you can register via their website.

Being a member of an owners' club means you love your car, so make sure you protect it as best you can. Use our comparison tool to get affordable car insurance that will make sure your four-wheeled baby is always looked after.

South African Car Insurance Statistics: The real numbers

South Africa has more than 13.3 million registered vehicles on the road, yet an estimated 65% of motorists may be driving without insurance, leaving millions exposed to risks like accidents, theft and costly repairs with no financial protection in place. And uninsured driving is only part of the story. Vehicle crime remains a concern, road accidents happen daily, and even roadworthiness issues contribute to the risks South African motorists face. These South African car insurance statistics highlight the real numbers behind uninsured drivers, vehicle theft and accident exposure — and why cover matters more than many motorists realise.

When last did you review your Car Insurance premium?

Realistically your insurance should change. Your car gets older. Your risk profile shifts. Insurers adjust their rates. A comprehensive Car Insurance quote that was competitive three years ago might not be the most affordable Car Insurance option available to you today.
